Barnum,s Circus.

No circus ever exhibits in the great city of
New York except p. T. Barnum's tremend-
GUS shows. The reason is very apparent to
every one. Every large city in the country
is visited by these shows, for their greatest
patronage is derived from the intelligent and
educated classes of the people, and the
wonderful attractions under the big tents of
the Barnum and London Circus are all of
such high moral character, so truly phe-
nomenal and marvellous, so instructing and
amusing at the same time, as to receive the
endorsement of the best informed people
everywhere. Judges, lawyers, doctors, poll
ticians, scientists, ladies, children, and even
the clergy uphold and visit these shows
when they would not any other Henry w.
Longfellow said: ''The circus presented by
Mr.. Barnum really merits its pretentions
title, and is of more actual value as an educa-
tional institution for the youth of the country
than even he claims for it," And hundreds
of others, equally as well known and promi-
nent individuals. have as extravag antly en-
dorsed it, The shows this year are larger,
grander, and richer than ever, and will all
be here on Thursday, July Dist, and the
great street parade will take place in the
morning at o'clock.

THE SUNDAY LAW.
Does the Law Give All Equal
Rights :?

To the Editor of The Press:
In the order to the news dealer, given by
our City Marshal, that officer took special
pains to notify me to close my store Sunday,
remarking that he ordered me to 4 year ago,
and had just heard that did not close My
reply was that of course / could not close un-
less the other news dealers did. He then
said / order you to close. replied / was
willing to close and would like to, but that
must protect my business, and l only ask for
equal rights, but no special privilege. |
closed my news stand. My business is as es-
sentally news business as any in Portland,
but other news dealersSwere open although
the City Marshal took special pains to see for
himself that was closed, and then, without
looking, on going farther down street, turned
his horse towards home.
Hereafter, / propose to, and shall keep my
news depot open unless the law is to be en-
| forced impartlally. must do so to protect
my business. How our City Marshal can so
| disregard his oath of Office to enforce the
laws impartially, | cannot see. The City
| Marshal thinks the horse car station must be
kept open but, rather than to allow the pro-
| prietors to sell papers, to pay the expense of
| so doing, | should think he would be will
| ing if necessary to pay the fexpense himself.
| Am to be prosecuted in the name of the
law9 protest and appeal to all justice low
| Ing people OF fOrllanQ.
| w. I'll. JEwETT,
504 Congress Street,
The City Marshal, on being questioned in
regard to the matter, said that year ago the
committee on licenses ordered all news
stands to be closed by 10 a. IN. Sunday, ex-
cept Fessenden's and Marquis's. These two
were omitted. Fessenden's, misunderstood
was omitted because it was the waiting-room
of the horse railroad company. Complaint
was lately made that Jewett was keeping
open all day Sunday and selling all kinds Of
goods besides papers. He called on Jeweti
and Jewett admitted the charge. The Mar
shall then told him he must close. The Mar.
shall said, however, it was probable that al
the new dealers next Sunday would have t.
come under the law.

CIinchIng the SaiI.
For the Dispatch.l

Referring TO your leader Of Sunday
morning, in which, replying to the
7Gmcs's assertion that in the trial of the
recent cases before Judge Bond the
States lawyers did not even pretend that
the act (coupon-crusher passed 10y the
Legislature was constitutional, you
quote my correction of that statement
"op the very best authority" now beg
leave TO add to that correction the fol-
lowing compact argument from Mr..
Scott, one OF the States counsel, who APP
peared in his own behalf in n very able
paper:
"This act of Assembly was passed obvi-
ously with the design to induce the hold
ers Of tax-receiyable coupons to submit
them for Identification and verificatiOn,
as required by the previous act OF Janu-
airy II, 1882, the conditions upon which
the Commonwealth allowed her treasu-
rers to receive the coupons for taxes.
" This law has been examined Ivy the
Supreme Court of the United States in
Antoni rs. Greenhow, and it was decided
by that final arbiter to be i'll accordance
with the Constitution.-l07 United states
Reports, page no.
"The statute to which have referred
in justification of my acts being design
ed simply to render previous statute
effectual must be regarded IS equally
constitutional with it, for the means are
appropriate, and therefore ought to pro-
tect me from the censure of this court.
1t thus appears that the point was dis
tinctly made by one of the States law
yers. 1t is as distinctly remembered
that the paper WAS filed before the case
was called, at Mr.. Royal instance, that
he might be able to inspect it, which, it
is to be presumed, he did.
4 do not suppose the other counsel
thought it worth while to argue the point
elaborately before Judge Bond. lie is
said, | believe truly, to have pledged
himself ont of court to make Virginia
pay the debt If he should live long
enough, and he is believed both in Vir-
GINA and North Carolina to disregard
the Constitution and every other law
which would check his hatred Of these
States. Besides, they knew that the
constitutionahty of the law was to be
discussed before a court which at least
knows how to behave itself; as Judge
Bond has proved he did not. For his
Judgment in Mr. SCOTS case was not
only to send him to Jail until be should
do what he knew he could not do--to
wit, enter satisfaction of judgments not
under his control-but he delivered the
judgment with a contemptuous express
sion which made it an insult-worse than
an insult in that he was helpless pris-
oner in his court. ~

Judge Lowry, Democrat, is contest
ing the seat of Republican congress
man from Indiana upon the ground that
the contestee, though an old resident of
the district, is not a naturalized citizen
of the country. Should he gain the seat
Indiana will be, like New Hampshire, a
tied State in the House, and the House
itself Will be tied, as the Republicans
would then have but nineteen States,
and the House would be unable to elect
President should the election be
thrown into that body.-Alcrandria Ga
zette.
Judge LOWRY has no title to the seat.
He is the one man whom the voters
elected to stay at home. What claim
can a rejected candidate have to seat
to which another man was elected over
him ? If his opponent was ineligible
then q new election must be ordered.
Any other man in his congressional dis
trict has better right to the seat than
the one whom the voters declined to send
to Washington.
